RE: 60 LB PSE X Force shooters on here?
well I had the X force, 73# @ 26.5 DL with 365 gr arrow was shooting 295 fps with the 6" brace height. I sold it and bought the Bowtech Allegiance, best thing I ever did for my bowhunting/shooting career. The PSE X Force is a fine bow, but it wasn't for me. I shoot so much better with this Bowtech.

RE: 60 LB PSE X Force shooters on here?
I shot and bought the PSE X Force 6 today.
When I shot it at the dealer it did not have a stabilizer or STS. The bow whacked my wrist every shot; I was smart enough to wear an arm guard. The draw seemed stiff, but manageable and I liked the grip, the back wall is rock solid. I assumed an STS and stabilizer would stop the string contact. The speed was too much to resist so I bought it. (I'll get to the speed soon)
I installed a Trophy Ridge Drop Zone rest, Cobra Swidewinder sight, G5 peep, stabilizer, and a STS. After I had everything set up I went to chronograph the bow. I did not wear an arm guard; if I was getting string contact I wanted to feel it. To my pleasure, the STS had stopped all string contact.
Speed.... the reason I bought the bow in the first place. My Katera XL set on 60 LB 29'' draw shoots a 385 gr. arrow @ 277-279 fps. I have (had) two Katera XL bows; one of them is now for sale. The X Force set on 60 LB 29 '' draw shot a 385 gr. arrow @ 303 fps. DANG, that's faster than I expected. I was able to paper tune the bow in a few shots.
Two negatives I have so far are: Pressing the bow, I bought one of the portable PSE cable presses, but it only relaxes the string, not the cables. I have an Apple Archery Super E press, but it won't work with the X Force. I've got to do something about the press. The serving, I had to reserve the loose string serving and put glue on the serving where the string stop contacts the cable serving.
